Answer Determine the distance traveled and divide by the time it took to cover that distance. If one travels 100 miles in two hours, one averaged 100/2 miles per hour or 50 m…iles/hour. Example: A car travels between 2 towns 60 miles apart in 2 hours. What is its average speed? Answer: average speed = distance/time Therefore, the average speed of the car is 60 miles/2 hours = 30 miles/hour. last update November 22, 2005 by JL Stanbrough http://www.batesville.k12.in.us/physics/phyNet/mechanics/Kinematics/AveSpeed.html

v = d / t.
where v = velocity.
d = distance travelled.
t = time taken.
An easy way to remember is that speed is measured in km / h. km is a measure of distance and hours i…s a measure of time. So it is distance divided by time.

For the speed of a single pedestrian, measure the time it takes him/her to walk a set distance (for example 10 meters) and divide the distance by the time..
For the average s…peed of a pedestrian find a large number of people and measure the speed of each person and find the average by summing all the speeds and dividing by the number of people who took the test.

To find your average reading speed, you'll need a book withfamiliar words and subject. Don't time your reading speed on newwords, concepts or subjects you won't get a fair res…ult. Set atimer for 1 minute 1 second. Get your book ready and start yourtimer. When it goes off, note what word you were on and count backto where you started reading. It's that simple.

It is a bit hard to answer your question, as it lacked of a few things: Total Distance or total time, the distance which the speed(answer) is in or the amount of time the pers…on travels with the speed(answer).
